A flower pot falls off a window ledge 10.0 m above the ground. Its velocity as it hits the ground is

Answer 1

v = g t

10 = (1/2) g t^2
t^2 = 20/9.8
t = 1.43 seconds to fall
so
v = 9.8 *1.43 = 14 meters/ second

Answer 2

A flower pot falls from a windowsill 8.0m above the pavement. Calculate the time taken for the flower pot to fall and the velocity at which it hits the pavement.
